The Challenge:

Due to the severity of COVID-19, Edgewater’s Department of Energy Contractor Managed and Operated Facility client was forced to mandate off-site remote work for the near 800 resources where most of the workforce worked primarily at the field office location and were not set-up to access systems remotely

The Solution:

In a very short timeframe, the Edgewater team worked diligently to increase appliance and licensing capacity for all users and implemented solutions to support remote work efforts. Edgewater used a combination of technologies including RSA, PIV, Juniper Pulse Secure, VMware and cloud technologies to allow users to access systems. In those situations where users did not have appropriate devices for remote access, the Edgewater team issued zero client devices, which were reconfigured for internal use and deployed to all users in need.

The Outcome:

All users were able to access systems remotely within one week and continue to support the critical Department of Energy Contractor Managed and Operated Facility mission of managing our country’s nuclear waste.
